Im not a class racer(yet), but, to me, the thing that has always drawn me to Stock, is the factory parts and 9" slicks... Introduce 10.5's or DOT tires, and everything STock stands for, is lost...IMO Pretty sure IHRA allows 10.5 slicks, but, I dont know why.... I saw plenty of 140mph cars at INdy in 2011 that
didnt seem to have any problems... Far as im concerned, any new car that is factory turbo'd or supercharged, should be classified as SS or FX, with their own rules...and should run in SS... or a class called Factory Power Adder Stock... FPAS...
